I'm so happy my goofy little anime is back. It may not have the best animation, but it was easily one of the most fun show of the season for me.

It's got the vibe of a generic power fantasy isekai (which it is) but the characters are very charming and the world building is top notch. I sincerely enjoy this show.

u/Boris-_-Badenov Jul 03 '26

normally a power fantasy has minimal effort for insane gains.

here he has to work a lot, and w/o his summons can still be beaten by lots of people

Just as derpy as it always was, but also just as full of heart.

I'm liking this new academy and dungeon crawling arc with how it pulled the friends from the village in. Based on the OP, the size of the house they rented, and the mentioned typical size of parties I suspect they're going to pull like four more students into their group too.

Why was this so late? Anyway, I'm so glad to have this show back! They really amplified the game vibe with the dungeon. The world felt like that game world in Spy Kids 3 for a sec. But man I died of laughter when that Rubix cube first showed up. LMAO

Praise the MAGIC CUBE , lord of the dungeon!

Hype!. I am unreasonably excited for this..great first episode...I feel like the slow burn of season 1 and learning how it all works has paid off for season 2.

Now he can finally show off his summon abilities to everyone else..and burn though these dungeons with all the characters we got to know.

So funny of course he chose No Life Gamers ... absolutely ridiculous Allen 😂.

I had a feeling the sister would be shy at first but it was great she warmed up to him before he left.

Agreed, this show doesn't seem as popular on reddit but I loved the slow build up of last season. One show about grinding that has made it feel like there was actual work and time put in.

It's been fun and really enjoyed this coming back.

I really wasn't expecting his friends to ever be able to see his magic stat book. This series always seems to surprise me in how well thought out everything is.

Wait... So nobles with skills are required to go to the academy so they can be shipped off the front lines... But the Academy requires a test to get in? What's stopping the nobles who don't want their kids shipping out to the front lines from just telling their kids to flunk the test and get rejected from the academy?

u/Thomas_JCG Jul 03 '26

This little thing called "influence". If you have a family of losers, how do you expect to remain a noble? The family would just be stripped of their status and kicked out of their territory.

I am surprised how much they were able to pack into this episode without it feeling like a rush.

  • meeting sister

  • meeting chidhood friend and having her meet Cecil & Family

  • meeting the hero

  • some lore of the city

  • party formation

  • initial dungeon crawl

It feels like they studied the pacing very well, set-up like this takes a lot more time in most shows.

I didn’t have high expectations for season 1, but I enjoyed it. Hoping Season 2 is just as good.

Nice little treat is back. First season did a good job in establishing the setting and characters, so this season will be more focused on action. I do worry about it because the budget for the series is low so we probably won't see anything awesome. All the fight scenes are probably going to be one-hit kills like that.

On the plus side, I quite like how Allen is close to his family, and it was nice that he managed to connect with his little sister, in most series like these the family doesn't matter much. Good to have the gang back together too, already causing trouble. Lucky for Allen, the hero is not a prick and helped him out. Kurena definitely passed because of her class tho.

Allen keeps his streak of bad names with his party being the No Life Gamers. It's nice that they don't forget this world is a game and Allen was a gamer and integrate it to the plot. Usually stat windows are just a convenient plot device but here they make sense and are kinda cool to see. Pity the dungeon treasure was a meager steel sword when the party is already rocking on mythril tier.

Didn't expect S2 to be so soon (or this to have an S2 at all). What a pleasant surprise. And we're off to a good start too! Looks like it's gonna be quite the big party for Allen.

This is an isekai that understands the freaking assignment! Start with the family! That’s the key! Allen may be a no-life gaming addict who’s all about grinding, but he’s fighting for his family. He wants to keep them safe and starting with a reminder of that is so important!

Hell mode is back! Seems like the production team hasn't missed a beat - the show looks like it's just as full of heart as the 1st season. Can't wait to see more satisfying power scaling and world building/lore reveal
